What is Moissanite?
Moissanite is a near-colorless gemstone that’s composed of silicon carbide. First discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan, who later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, moissanite was originally found in the crater left behind by a fallen meteor.
Although they look similar at first glance, moissanite is very different from a diamond. Diamonds are made of carbon, whereas moissanites are made of pure silicon carbide — an extremely rare, naturally-occurring mineral.
The natural moissanite discovered by Moissan in 1893 is exceptionally rare, making it practically impossible to use natural moissanite for jewelry. Natural moissanite is incredibly rare, so moissanite available today is laboratory-created.
